Rhino (Marvel Comics)

Summary

Aleksei Sytsevich was an ordinary member of the Russian mob up until he decided to undergo experimental gamma ray treatments to pay for his family's immigration to the US. The gamma rays gave him super speed, durability, and strength. In addition, he was given an armored suit with a horn to make him even more dangerous. Rhino became a superpowered thug for hire, and clashed with many superheroes, notably Spider-Man. Despite his brutish demeanour, Aleksei is actually a tortured soul, stuck to his suit and reputation when he himself wants to lead a normal life. As such, recent years have him even team up with other superheroes for a temporary alliance.

Rhino Armor: The Rhino wears a special suit modularly aligned and composed of a thick polymer mat similar in appearance to the skin of an actual rhino. The suit works in conjunction with his gamma based powers and increases his strength and durability beyond their original gamma-induced levels. The Rhino's costume grants him a high degree of resistance to physical injury. It is highly impervious to damage and can withstand temperature extremes between -50˚ and 1,000˚ F without cracking or melting. It is acid resistant and removable. The suit boosts his strength, features a bulletproof polymer mat rhino-like hide and two horns capable of penetrating 2-inch plate steel.
